The Terrace Scout District put on
a Gillwell part one course for area
leaders Nov. 1, 2 and 3 at North-
west Community College. The
course is a basic training program
that is offered for people in a lead-
ership role in scouting.

The theme of the course was “Get
Hooked on Scouting”, with candi-
dates assigned to a group identi-
fied by different species of fish.
Programs were available for
Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Ventures
and. Rovers. The course consisted
, of many topics, among them pro-
’ gram history, aims and principles,

religion, flag ceremony, the many

_ different parts to running a mect-

ing night, detecting symptoms of
child abuse, and much more.

During section time candidates
assumed the role of the youth in
many of their activities and
learned to look at meeting from
both the youths’ and adults’ per-
spectives, Camp fires were held
both Friday and Saturday night
with songs, skits and yells per-

. formed, Religious observances

were held Sunday morning.

The course came to an end Sun-
day with the presentation of wallet
certificates, and a turks head wog-
gle, followed by the singing of the
course song.

In all there were 27 candidates
and 10 trainers. The course was
very imaginative and fun for all
concemed.

Cadets
seek help
for travel

A few members of the 747
Royal Canadian Air Cadets will
have to find their own way to
Prince George early next year.
On behalf of the squadron, Lissi
Sorensen asked the city for the
use of its van from Feb. 27 to
Feb, 29 to transport some Ter-
race cadets to Prince George for
review board examinations.

City administration, however,
advised council that there is a
written policy restricting the van
to cily use only. In the past
exceptions have been made [or
the Chamber of Commerce, Miss
Terrace Committee and Caledo-
nia Grad Committee because
those organizations are funded in
part by the city.

Council decided that policy
should be upheld, but didn’t
leave the cadets high and dry. In
recognition for ihe community
involvement of the squadron
they approved a "onc-lime grant"

of $250 to help cover. travel

expenses.

A growing part of your Autoplan

If You Think
Today's Car
Insurance Costs

premium is being stolen from you.

It goes to pay for British Columbia's

epidemic of crimes against vehicle

owners, Stolen vehicles. Theft from

vehicles. Vandalized vehicles.

Are Criminal,

In 1991, claims for these crimes

are likely to cost ICBC about

$121 million - up some $34 million
* from 1990.

In spite of prevention programs
by ICBC and the police, the cost of
all Comprehensive claims, including
damaged windshields, is up by
$40 million over last year. When you
add this to our province’s record
number and cost of accident claims,

it’s no mystery where Autoplan

rates are headed.

You're Par
Right.

Crime may not pay, but it certainly

makes us pay.
